Through this narrative device, More explores questions of governance, justice, property, religion, and the structure of an ideal commonwealth. The book moves between satire and serious philosophical inquiry, contrasting the social conditions of sixteenth-century Europe with a radically different vision of civic organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the centuries \u003cem\u003eUtopia\u003c\/em\u003e has remained one of the foundational texts of political thought, influencing debates about social reform, communal living, and the possibility of designing a just society. Its blend of humanist learning, irony, and philosophical speculation established the very term \"utopia,\" which has since entered the language as shorthand for imagined ideal societies. More's work continues to be studied not only as a historical document of Renaissance humanism but also as a provocative meditation on politics, morality, and the nature of the common good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas More\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1515431541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781515431541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilder Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Thomas More","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445273243903,"sku":"9781515431541","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f7c5178-e8e2-468d-a235-45bbe012ce75.jpg?v=1777217632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/utopia-thomas-more-9781515431541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
